Wanted, SNOW CHAINS.

Morning Guys,
I am after some chains to fit tyre size 285/70/17
That's about 102" long. I only need 1pair as not enough room on front.
Cheers Paul.

I have a pair of snow chains in the workshop, I will try and check in the next few days to find their size.

You have a Nissan Patrol not a wide tyred, low slung BMW. I would have no problem driving my truck through snow, I have driven the T2 through lots of snow and up some pretty steep snow covered hills with out chains.

Point taken,but I'm travelling through 9 countries hopefully and its a legal requirement in at least 2 of them.

As Don says, proper winter tyres make a huge difference. Snow socks are meant to get you out of trouble, but some leave them on and they don't fare well
